Well actually there was 3 albums Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules and Dehumanizer.

As well as the three new songs on the latest "Best Of" AND they're doing a brand new record as "Heaven and Hell".

As much as "Paranoid" was a groundbreaking, amazing record, I'm going to have to go with Dio era.

For one, it's much more difficult to duplicate. I love "Electric Funeral" but bands like Alice in Chains (specifically) have been able to rip off that era quite easily (as has Soundgarden, among many others).

No one has matched the dynamics and intensity of the Dio years.

IMHO.

But truth be told, it's like choosing a favorite child. Both are unbelievably awesome, awe-inspiring and unmatched in the world of heavy, original music.

I liked the 3 new Heaven and Hell songs, and I think they are going to do a new studio album together,so i will be looking forward to that....

I need a favor please,after reading these comments on Dio I have to admit I gave up on Sabbath after Heaven & Hell.Don't get me wrong I like the album but I guess I was just too hooked on Ozzy's vocals and Sabbath ended at that time for me.

I'm going to list a few of my fav Sabbath songs and other than the Heaven & Hell album(which I have)I'd like some suggestions on which Dio w/Sabbath songs I should listen to.

Megalomania
Who Are You
After Forever
The Wizard
Symptom Of The Universe
NIB
Wheels Of Confusion
